Calling all Hello Kitty Fans!

xoxo Hello Kitty Best Friends - all included items

I found this adorable set while browsing the toy section at Target. What caught my eye was that this Hello Kitty had much longer arms and legs than what you usually see on a Hello Kitty doll.

The doll is about three inches tall and comes with a number of accessories. A lunchbox that opens and closes with a snap. An apple that fits in the lunch box. A small blue mouse. A 'toy' Hello Kitty. A backpack clip that attach the doll to the zipper of your backpack. Finally, a surprise item in a blind bag.

The quality of each item is very good. All items are hard, but the doll's head is firm rubber with a soft texture. The arms and legs of the Hello Kitty doll are movable, but the figure doesn't sit very well as the dress gets in the way of the legs fully moving to a sitting position.

I picked up mine at Target, but it can also be purchased at Amazon along with a few other styles.

BLIND BAGS - Hello Kitty, Care Bears, Littlest Pet Shop and more!

Growing up I've never heard about blind bags, also known as surprise bags. I think it's a relatively new thing as I'd like to think I'm not that old. I knew about baseball cards and such but the only surprise toys I knew about came in cereals and Cracker Jack boxes.

I loved Cracker Jacks for the tiny prizes inside. Blind bags are like Cracker Jacks but better! I never kept any of the Cracker Jack prizes, but the blind bag figurines are usually well made and very cute to display and play with. And at $3-4 each, it's not too expensive and a fun treat to collect all the different characters.

Join me in opening 5 blind bags mini figure collectibles from Care Bears Series 1, Hello Kitty Series 1, Littlest Pet Shop Series 2, Disney Doc McStuffins Doc's Toy Friends, imaginext series 3. I wonder what we'll get!
